During an interview with Larry Kudlow on Fox News, Musk further claimed that the hackers’ IP addresses originated from the “Ukraine area.”
Elon Musk, CEO of platform X (formerly Twitter), announced on Monday that the platform had been hit by a massive cyberattack, which he described as being “executed with enormous resources.”
